May 6, 2010. #2. This is the guideline we use from CSI: You should report exams of the sacrum and sacroiliac joints with a pelvis MRI code (72195-72197). Because the study was “without contrast,” choose 72195 (Magnetic resonance [e.g., proton] imaging, pelvis; without contrast material). One pelvis code should cover both the sacrum and ...
Hi All, Please suggest me the CPT for MRI sacroiliac joints thanks in advance, Sreenivas Sajja
The Current Procedural Terminology (CPT ®) code 72200 as maintained by American Medical Association, is a medical procedural code under the range - Diagnostic Radiology (Diagnostic Imaging) Procedures of the Spine and Pelvis.
Summary. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is a noninvasive medical test that helps physicians diagnose and treat medical conditions .MR imaging uses a magnetic field, radio frequency pulses and uses the natural magnetic properties of the hydrogen atoms in our body that emit radiofrequency signals when exposed to radio waves in an electro–magnetic field.
Answer: You should report a pelvis MRI code (72195-72197) when you examine the sacrum and sacroiliac joints with magnetic resonance imaging. One pelvis code should cover both the sacrum and coccyx MRI. You may report one of the following Lumbosacral (LS) spine MRI codes separately as long as you have orders, medical necessity and documentation ...

The code(s) have to match the requesting provider's order, which looks to be an "MRI RT FOOT". 73721 is for an MRI of lower extremity joint; 73718 is an MRI for "other than joint". I agree with what t...
For bilateral injection, you may append modifier 50. For example, if a 38-year-old male undergoes bilateral SI joint injection with fluoroscopic guidance, report 27096-50. Do not report 27096 for SI joint injection with ultrasonic guidance, or if done without radiological guidance. For these circumstances, CPT® directs us to report 20552 ...
Yes, You Could Code Separately for Fluoro/CT/MRI. As you can see, US guidance is indicated in the descriptors for 20604, 20606, and 20611. There are, however, other types of guidance that you might be able to report separately with these codes. For these joint injection codes, “there is a parenthetical note that tells you that if your ...
